The phrase "on that day" refers to the day of Jerusalem's fall to the Babylonians, a time of great turmoil and destruction. The assurance of deliverance highlights God's sovereignty and faithfulness to those who trust in Him, even amidst judgment. This reflects a recurring biblical theme where God protects and delivers His faithful servants, as seen in the stories of Daniel in the lion's den (Daniel 6) and the three Hebrew boys in the fiery furnace (Daniel 3).<p><b>and you will not be delivered into the hands of the men whom you fear</b><br>Ebed-Melech feared the Babylonians, who were known for their brutality and might. The phrase underscores God's power over human threats and His ability to protect His people from their enemies. This assurance is reminiscent of God's promises to Israel throughout the Old Testament, where He repeatedly assures them of His protection against their foes (e.g., <a href="/isaiah/41-10.htm">Isaiah 41:10</a>, <a href="/psalms/91-7.htm">Psalm 91:7</a>). It also foreshadows the New Testament teaching that God has not given us a spirit of fear (<a href="/2_timothy/1-7.htm">2 Timothy 1:7</a>) and that perfect love casts out fear (1 <a href="/john/4-18.htm">John 4:18</a>). This deliverance can be seen as a type of Christ's ultimate deliverance of believers from sin and death, emphasizing God's redemptive plan through Jesus.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a></b><br>The prophet who conveyed God's messages to the people of Judah, including warnings of impending judgment and promises of deliverance.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/e/ebed-melech.htm">Ebed-Melech</a></b><br>An Ethiopian eunuch in the service of King Zedekiah of Judah, who showed kindness to Jeremiah by rescuing him from a cistern (<a href="/jeremiah/38-7.htm">Jeremiah 38:7-13</a>).
